Notes- I need fps 50 because mplayer doesn't yet detect the fps automatically in my files.- I've used two threads to speed things up on multi-core systems: threads= should be the number of cores your cpu has.- I have interlaced content and preserve the interlacing: scale=...:1, ilme:ildct.

I tried different fps settings, but I don't know the correct setting. Not in the user manual for my camera - Panasonic HDC-SD1PP. I made the recording on HE compression setting. Also, I believe the scale is 1920x1024, so I modified the command to use "scale=1920:1024:1". Same result. Any ideas? Thanks very much.

Third, the aspect ratio looks wrong -- it looks narrower than it should.

Also, after some time, the output started including the following errors:
